Start with primary sources
Prioritise public pages from authorities, graduate schools, departments and programmes. Media and exchange materials can suggest questions, but verify key requirements at their original source.
Separate fact from analysis
Distinguish official rules, summaries and the Centre’s interpretation. Label comparison frameworks as editorial methods rather than presenting them as policy conclusions.
Time is part of the information
Record publication dates, applicable years and consultation dates. An older page is not necessarily wrong, but may not answer questions about this year’s intake, fees or eligibility.
Make correction part of accumulation
Mark uncertainty and revise when links fail or policies change. Readers can send original sources or suggested corrections to the Centre by email.
